Poppy, The Wandering Balloon, is the introduction of a new, heroic children's literary character, who will live on through a series of adventures and experiences for years to come. "Poppy" is a character whom both children (ages 3 ) and adults can relate to on an everyday level. He is sweet, innocent, cautious, courageous and adorable. He is sometimes shy and fearful of the cruel cold world outside - just as we are. But when faced with certain realities and challenges in life, Poppy rises above them by cautiously and thoughtfully weighing all possibilities and finding the solutions. Towards the end of each journey, he learns the meaning of self in relation to his peers, as well as his environment. Poppy, in essence, is who we really are when our "inner child" is exposed.
